Surprise in Finland as sauna contest reveals new layers of stupidity (and skin)

The Annual Sauna Contest in Finland raised a few eyebrows today, along with lots of blisters and layers of peeling flesh. Of the 130 competitors who chose to boil themselves alive only 2 made it through to the final round before finally relenting.

It is believed that Mr Vladimir Ladyzhensiy later died in hospital, although debate goes on about how much of him was actually in the hospital and how much of him was left behind on the floor of the sauna..
